static charge. Flashcards
how can materials become electrically charged?
insulating materials are rubbed against each other.
example of a material that can become eclectically charged and how?
balloon after being rubbed against a jumper.
the friction from rubbing one material with another does what to the electrons and what happens to both materials?
moves the negatively charged electrons from one material to another.
the one that gains electrons become negatively charged.
the one that lost electrons become positively charged.
because the materials are insulators what does that mean?
they charge remains on the object.
what would the effect not be seen by and why?
conductors.
conduct the charge to earth so it can’t build up.
what is an object that has no conducting path to earth referred to as?
isolated object.
